What is the interpretation of the original meaning?

An addition, derivation, or extension of the original meaning is called interpretation.

Hermeneutics, also known as interpretation, is a philosophical technique for explaining and understanding a text. It is also described as the theory of interpretation and understanding a text in light of the text itself. It is a collective term for the philosophical systems, methodologies, or technical rules that govern issues of meaning, understanding, and interpretation in Western philosophy, religion, history, linguistics, psychology, sociology, and literary theory. The study of hermeneutics can be traced back to ancient Greece.

The emergence of hermeneutics:

The problem of how to understand the meaning of divination, myth, and fable already existed as early as the ancient civilization of mankind. Aristotle's doctrine in the ancient Greek era has been involved in the problem of understanding and interpretation. The root of the word "hermeneutics" comes from the ancient Greek word hermes, which means the message of God. At that time, the study of how to translate the hidden meaning of God into understandable language was already regarded as a discipline.

Hermeneutics in the modern period:

The pioneer of modern hermeneutics was the 20th-century German philosopher M. Heidegger, who transformed traditional hermeneutics from a study of a methodological and epistemological nature to a study of an ontological nature, thereby transforming hermeneutics from a methodology of the humanities into a philosophy that has evolved into philosophy hermeneutics. Heidegger achieves understanding of being in general through the analysis of this being and makes understanding an ontological activity.

He developed his famous theory of the hermeneutic cycle, which holds that the interpreter's knowledge of the object to be interpreted is expected to be a part of the meaning to be interpreted, and that the completion of the activity of understanding is thus dependent on the pre-structuring of the understanding, i.e., a set of determinants of understanding that existed prior to the understanding. This basic circularity is thus always present between the pre-structure and the context of the interpreter. He emphasizes, however, that this is not a vicious circle, but an essential condition for the cognitive activity at hand.
